Garbage: Nothing starts as garbage; it becomes so when materials used to protect valuables, like packaging, are no longer needed, or when objects become obsolete or worn out after their expiration date, such as second-hand goods. In essence, garbage results from the end of roles or functions, as well as the passing of values over time. Similarly, the mind follows this process. The defense mechanisms of the mind, which I once valued for self-protection, may also become garbage. When they are no longer valid or worth protecting, we may cling to them, though they are mere illusions. Just as with physical waste, mental garbage should be discarded rather than kept. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Revealing all your attractiveness and skills at once is unwise. This principle is also relevant in business. In marketing, creating “waiting demand” can occur when a superior product model is announced in advance, pressuring customers to postpone their purchases. This phenomenon is known as the “Osborne Effect,” named after the Osborne Computer Company in England, which introduced an excessively innovative computer named Vixen and subsequently went bankrupt the following year because existing products could not be sold. Innovating and guiding your current customers is never a straightforward task. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
